Russ Locandro

44th Bomb Squadron

Radar bombardier

 

Target: Kure

 

July 1, 1945

 

Lt. Buechler and crew #22 “Nippon Nipper III”

 

Lt. Buechler and crew did a fine job on this night mission, which we had 10/10 undercast, moderate flak and bombs going right in the target area. Yes-that’s right, another good bombing mission for the record.
